If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 199 Master Understands You
Late at night, inside the Xuan Gu Pavilion, candlelight flickered, and hot tea was brewing. Zhen Qin sat blankly on a small stool, staring at the teapot, lost in thought.

Gu An was writing a book. After finishing a page, he began to admire it and found it increasingly impressive.

"Disciple, come and take a look."

Gu An's voice interrupted Zhen Qin's thoughts.

Zhen Qin quickly got up, walked to his side, took the paper from his hand, and read it carefully.

"The Seven Great Sages... the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King?"

Zhen Qin couldn't help but look at Gu An and ask, "Master, isn't the ox downstairs the Bull Demon King? You wrote it into the book?"

Gu An asked with a smile, "Is that not allowed?"

“Of course, but your writing style…” Zhen Qin nodded, her expression somewhat hesitant.

Master has this talent?
On second thought, if Master doesn't practice cultivation, he must have time to play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

After reading it, she returned the paper to Gu An and said, "It's very well written. I feel that this section alone is no worse than Investiture of the Gods. Master, are you going to publish a book? Then I hope you can surpass Pan An..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Gu An in astonishment.

“Pan An…Gu An…”

Zhen Qin's expression turned strange, and she quickly asked, "Master, you wouldn't happen to be Pan An, would you?"

Gu An smiled and said, "This is my biggest secret, I'm only telling you. Can you tell your master what's troubling you?"

When Zhen Qin came today, Gu An could sense that she wanted to confide in him, but was also afraid of something, so he used the identity of Pan An to lure her out.

Although he already knew the truth, he couldn't reveal his identity, so Zhen Qin needed to confide in the people around her.

Zhen Qin gritted her teeth and said, "I'm afraid of implicating Master!"

“If you don’t tell me, and something happens, it will not only implicate me, but it will also become a worry for me. That’s what’s really hurting me,” Gu An said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qin felt relieved and smiled for the first time.

At Gu An's gesture, she walked around to the other side of the desk and sat down, beginning to recount Su Han's death.

Gu An got up to pour tea, and Zhen Qin's gaze followed his back, wanting to see his reaction.

However, she couldn't see through anything.

Could it be that Master no longer cares about Senior Brother Su?

Zhen Qin thought to herself that she couldn't blame Gu An. She owed Su Han a debt of gratitude for covering for her, but her master owed her nothing.

Gu An brought a bowl of hot tea to her and calmly watched her speak.

After she finished speaking, Gu An said, "The deceased is gone. You should live according to his wishes, not inherit his hatred."

"But……"

"Think about what he said to you before he died. What do you think he wanted you to do?"

Gu An interrupted her and asked in a deep voice.

Zhen Qin remained silent.

Gu An continued, "Let's not even talk about whether you can defeat the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower. This world is so vast, do you want to spend your whole life looking for her? Cultivate well, go and see the world your senior brother wanted to go to, do what he wanted to do but couldn't. That's truly for his own good. There's a will in the universe. Your senior brother will eventually accumulate a lot of sins, but by inheriting his power, your actions will have a share of his karma. Whether you do good deeds for him or increase your sins depends on your choice."

Zhen Qin was lost in thought, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Gu An wasn't in a hurry. He was just giving her guidance; if she wanted to let go, she would have to rely on herself.

Zhen Qin looked up at Gu An. In her eyes, he was very weak. After inheriting Su Han's cultivation, Zhen Qin had already condensed her Nascent Soul, and her cultivation was still growing. She couldn't help but look down on the people around her now. But tonight, she felt deeply ashamed.

What good is having cultivation if you can't even do it?

She took a deep breath and asked, "Master, can my good deeds really help Senior Brother Su?"

Gu An replied, "I don't know, but at least this way you can let yourself off the hook, and it's also what he wants."

Zhen Qin smiled, instantly reverting to her usual quirky and lively self.

"Master, you're actually Pan An! You kept this from me for so long! I thought you were the author of The Secret of the Great Mystery!"

"Cough cough, nonsense, how could Master be that kind of person?"

and many more!

Did she also read The Mysterious Legend?
Gu An's eyes turned strange. Shen Zhen was truly a scourge, poisoning countless people!

Zhen Qin snorted, "Who told Master to like reading The Legend of the Green Knight?"

"It's all a rumor! Don't believe it!"

The master and apprentice started arguing.

for a long time.

Gu An said, "I know that someone wants to pass on the Divine Skill of Reversing Fate to me. I can speak on your behalf and make you a true disciple, so that you can embark on a righteous path of cultivation."

Zhen Qin was shocked again, never expecting her master to have such an opportunity!
"Master, who is it? Is it powerful?" Zhen Qin asked curiously.

"Sect Leader Lü Baitian, tell me, isn't he amazing?"

"Hiss... Doesn't this mean that Master will become a Grand Master of the Integration Realm in the future?"

“I did not agree, and besides, he has a long lifespan, perhaps even longer than your master. This matter should not be publicized to avoid trouble.”

"Yes, I know, Master. To be honest, I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator now. It's been tough hiding my cultivation these past few years..."

Zhen Qin began to complain.

Gu An smiled and said, "Master understands you."

"What do you know?"

"Fine, I don't understand. If Master wants to hit you, can you? You're actually showing off to Master!"

The master and apprentice started arguing again after only a few words.

Zhen Qin didn't come downstairs until it was almost dawn.

As she passed by the Blood Prison Great Sage, she squatted down in front of him, stroked his head, and whispered with a smile, "Little calf, I can become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, isn't that amazing?"

The Great Sage of Blood Prison opened his eyes and glanced at her.

They're sick! He finally understood; everyone in the Upper Realm was a bunch of crazy people.

After rambling on for a while, Zhen Qin leaped up and flew towards the outer city gate.

It wasn't until noon that Gu An used his disciple token to contact Lü Baitian and help Zhen Qin change her disciple status.

Lu Baitian was very interested in Zhen Qin's transfer of the Reversal of Fate Divine Skill, so he readily agreed.

……

Another new night has fallen.

That night, Gu An left Xuan Valley, using the Boundless Free Step to head west, traversing mountains and lands before entering the ocean.

One step at a time!
The distance that can be traversed across the nine levels of the Immortal Realm is incredibly vast!
This time, he took a full hundred steps and landed on a small continent.

He stood on the beach, his divine sense encompassing the entire continent. He saw many demonic creatures, but no human cultivators.

This continent shouldn't be sunk by the sea monster!
Gu An walked into the woods. He didn't go directly to find a place to break through, but instead took the opportunity to check out the situation on this continent.

at the same time.

A land of demons.

Inside the dimly lit cave, Xuan Tianyi and An Hao were moving forward. An Hao was very nervous and kept looking back.

"Cultivators use their divine sense to observe, not their eyes. Didn't Lü Baitian teach you that?"

Xuan Tianyi walked ahead and asked casually.

An Hao looked at his back and felt a little relieved.

This person is the only Mahayana Realm cultivator openly recognized by the Tai Xuan Sect, and in the entire Three Dynasties, he is second only to his master among human cultivators.

Following Xuan Tianyi, even if we encounter danger, we should be able to escape alive.

An Hao asked, "I feel like this journey has been too peaceful, with no demons or monsters stopping us, as if they deliberately let us in."

"maybe."

Xuan Tianyi casually replied.

Before long, the two emerged from the cave and arrived at a precipice. Looking around, they saw a vast underground space with rolling lava below, resembling a scorching lake.

Xuan Tianyi looked down at the lava lake, the firelight illuminating his face, creating shifting shadows.

An Hao was also looking down, but he looked nervous.

"Such dense demonic energy, could the Fiery Demon be hiding down there?" An Hao asked in a low voice.

Xuan Tianyi spoke up: "You've been following us for so long, shouldn't you come out now?"

Upon hearing this, An Hao was greatly alarmed and quickly looked around.

Immediately afterwards, he saw seven mysterious figures shrouded in demonic energy emerging from the cave wall in the distance.

Xuan Tianyi said softly, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would be in danger after we separated. Just watch and see how I deal with these cowardly guys."

Having said that, he stepped out with his right foot and strode away into the air.

An Hao did not let his guard down; he drew his sword and became alert to his surroundings.

……

Under the tree, Gu An sat down to meditate, leaning against the trunk. He had already activated his lifespan barrier. He looked up and saw a crescent moon hanging in the night sky through the gaps in the leaves.

The weather is nice tonight!

It was as if the whole world was celebrating for him!

Gu An smiled and then brought up the attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

【Lifespan: 96/10376008】

[Physique: Mysterious Sacred Body]

[Cultivation Level: Ninth Level of the Immortal Realm]

……

A lifespan of 10.37 million years!
Because Gu An failed to break through from the ninth level of the Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and needed to wait 20,000 years, he chose to invest one million years first.

Fifty times, take a gamble, what if you get lucky?
Evolutionary training begins!
[You cultivated your inner energy for 20,000 years, and with your profound mastery of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique, you forcibly attempted to break through to the Heaven and Earth Ascension Immortal Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to withstand the Great Heavenly Tribulation of the Divine Will of Heaven and Earth.]

failure!

failure!

Gu An remained calm, deciding to take two million years to play around with it first. Success would be a pleasant surprise, but failure wouldn't matter.

And then, as he expected, they all failed.

He will invest another million years of his lifespan!
A series of prompts of the same length kept popping up.

All attempts failed again; he failed to transcend the tribulation a hundred times!

If we try another fifty times, it should work, right?

Another series of notifications popped up, and this time, Gu An couldn't keep a straight face anymore.

They haven't even managed to break the three million-year lifespan barrier!
He couldn't help but look again at the words "Great Heavenly Tribulation of Heaven and Earth".

I really want to see what kind of heavenly tribulation this is!
Hopefully, someone will be able to demonstrate to him in the future how to survive the great tribulation of heaven and earth!
Gu An took a deep breath and chose to invest 500,000 years of his lifespan.

failure!

failure!

The series of failures dealt a blow to Gu An's Dao heart.

Until a notification suddenly became longer.

[You have cultivated your Qi for 380,000 years. With your mastery of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique, you forcefully attempt to break through to the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm and begin your tribulation. You have survived the Great Heavenly Tribulation of the Divine Will of Heaven and Earth and successfully transcended the tribulation. Your cultivation has broken through to the first level of the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm.]
